Low Horatio gearbox Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Deffo. 4 weeks ago I collected my mustang from storage and wilfully ignored some flexible fuel line thet looked questionable. 2 days later it let go and the stream of pez was about 4 foot long.

steveo3002 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 almost like fuel line needs changing every 12-18 months now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I did the X1/9 a few years ago which is really easy and they’re still nice and flexible. The 2cv I’ve replaced a few times in the same period. No idea why but it needs checking like you mention. at least one Citroen SM has gone up in flames with old fuel lines.

Rusty_Rocket Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Gates 'Multi fuel' hose is my go-to now. Everything else turns to goo/ splits/ cracks (unless it's really, really old stuff!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
